2. Impact:
3. Impact:
Planktonic organisms could suffer mortality due to reduction in
water quality tjuring construction activities.
l~,otentially significant !ong-term impacts to the ·Pismo clam
population may occur from construction of the intake · system;
however, probability of occurrence is low due 'to. population
depletion.
Potential erosion of the ·sandy: intertidal habitat from the
jetting action of the · discharge of 20,000 gpm o'f seawater.

III. FINDINGS --The Planning Department staff reports (and
attachments) dated' September 10, 1987 and January 12, 1988 are
hereby incorporated by reference into these ffodings~ ......
A. Unavoidable Significarit Adv:~e Impacts .,. 1. I~acts to
Vegetation - During grading and construction
activities candfd,.,te rare and endangered La Graciosa thistle
and its· habitat ttauld be affected. Development of the project
site, especially the ten-foot wide construction corridor for the
pipelines, wou'i,~ disturb dense concentrations of the La Graciosa
thistle west of the raceway. (La Gracia~~ this~le is not present at
the inain building facility site.J · ·
::i ... Development of the nsain building facility would result
in the unavoidable loss of approximately 25,000 ~quare feet of
coastll dune h~itat until the P.nd of the use~~l life of the
project. ·
The impacts to La Graciosa thistle have been partially mitigated
through severa 1 Conditions of Approva 1 which have been
incorporated into the project. Condition 5 requires that all
pireline routes st\all be staked in the field and surveyad by the
environrnenta 1 ,;~:mi tor fer rare plants. In addition, this
condition requires that the pipeline .£Drr.2dor
·sha 11 be rerouted around ccncentr.atioris of such :plants.
tandition 12 'i!Stablisiles "the -r'equiT'em!nt for 'the applicant
'to sub"!it a. revegetation plan addressing con~truc:tion
impacts.
-The-- pl an ·;is- · t9 - include a wopogat ion proqram for the
La Graciosa ~histle. Condition 13 requires_that all la Graciosa
"thistle in danger of being disturbed by development of the project
shall be removed and replanted in a similar habitat onsite. ·This
·may be only a partial mitigation measure due to
-~the fact that tile Supplement points out that replanting is
not ~ proven technology • . The unavoidable loss of approximately
25,000 square feet of coastal 1fune ttabitat has been part1a11y
mitigated through project revisions and Conditions of Approval. The
applicant has eliminated .the proposed reservoir from the project
description. The reservoir would have disturbed approximately one
acre of well developed coastal dune shrub.
The i~acts tO vegetation are considered acceptable because the
project has been revised and all feasible mitigation measures have
been required.

if fcan~ 1. Impacts to Wetland ffaQitat - The -raceways are
located
partiaJJy in a transitional wetland habitat of approximately 33
acres. There is dis~g~!ement among experts reqarding the wetland
status of the ~ceway site. Ourfng the public review period of the
EIR Su~lement, we received letters from both ·-·~- --the u:'S. flsh
and Wi1qlffe Ser-vice and the State Departm2nt of Fish and Game
(s~e App~ndix B).
·Acco~ding to the letter of COl'lm@nt from the Fish and Wfldlffe
Service, (see Appendix B. Final £IR Supplement). the presence of
'fetland indicator species and seasonaJJy ponded water leads the
service to conclude that the racettay area is a wetland. The
servt'ett. further believes -that the mitigation proposals for the
loss of ~habitat at the raceway site, conversion of uplands
to~wetlands, is inaporooriate,
"
Contrary to the o~inion of the Fish and Wildlife Servic~. the
OepAf'tment of Fish and Game indicates that the· .

V. STA!EMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
The· unavoidable significant i~act~ of the project are found to
he acceptable due to overriding .~onsiderations. It is recognized
that the project may result in unavoidable en~jronmental impacts to
biological re~ources. The poteflt ia l for the_y··· i'?pacts to .
occur is substantially reduced through the redes19n of thf.~proJect
and mltigation measures to be included in the project.
Specif·u.:ally. the impact resulting fr~. tt; ... loss of coasta 1
dune habitat >has been substantially reduced , elimination of
the originally proposed reservoir. The reservoir would have
re:;ulted in tlie unavoidable loss of one acre of well-developed
coastal dune scrub. Potential impacts to the I.a Graciosa thistle
have beeti lessened by incorooratirig into the pr'oject a thistle
pr.opogatia'! progra111. flagging of the. thistle ppultitions along
the _r;~peline ro'.lte, and rerouting of the pioelinP. ro1.1..te in
order to avoi(f derise thistle concentrations. ..... -~.
•/ .7 .. The project is considere& tv be one of the three
envircn~~ntally superior project locations as compared to that
originally propo~ed ih Santa Barbara County. The alternative of n
reservoir wi~l result in fewer env ironmenta 1 impacts and is the
env fronmenta 11y super'icr project alternative~ This alternative
comes closest t~ meeting the .applicant's objectives while
minimizing environmental impacts.
In balancing the oroject benefits against the unavoidab 1~
envircnfllenta 1 impacts, the aoard r~aches the following
